GrEETING CARD SOFTWARE

Always used Nova Greeting card software on my old PC, just purchased their software for the Mac and have now been told that it is not compatible with my Mac because I am running leopard! Does anyone know of any software that I can purchase to use on my Mac that I can print off nice greeting cards with?

Greeting card software for Mac?

So, I switched my parents over to a Mac Mini a month ago. They really like it, but they miss having their "Greetings Workshop" greeting card software from their old Windows computer.
So, I'm trying to find something they can use instead. I've found a couple programs, but from many years ago. Something free would be best (either downloadable or online), but they're willing to pay for one too.
Thanks!

For freebie software, check out http://www.versiontracker.com or http://www.macupdate.com. They have search options so you can find programs that are built for making greeting cards, however nobody can guarantee those programs will work (properly). They take submissions by everyone from major corporations to teenagers who're punching out their first programming efforts. Its worth a shot to check'em out though. Beyond that, however, you can create greeting cards in various word processors, including apple's Pages. I love the program myself, but some folks havent found it to be the most intuitive. Additionally, while it has starter templates, its more of a raw "start from scratch" program.

What is good greeting card software for my mac mini with Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.1? I want a wide range of existing templates such as Hallmark and Printshop offer, but can't find for this version OS X.

For my Mac mini with Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.1, what is a good greeting card software download with lots of templates and graphics?

Hi simon2010,
as far as I can see, I have resolved it...
Just so I didn't write over my functioning disk in the Mac mini, I took it out and put a spare one in. (Would have saved me going back to the Apple store to get it re-imaged if it did fail.)
I created a Mountain Lion installer on an 8GB USB stick, and first installed 10.8.4 (the latest at the current time) on my MacBook Pro... it worked fine, so I knew the installer stick had no problems at all (that's one thing to rule out of the list of potential causes).
With my spare hard disk in the Mac mini, I then went to try to install 10.8.4 on it, with my 16GB non-Apple RAM in it. It failed as usual in the way I expressed originally.
I then just swapped my 16GB RAM for the original Apple 4GB RAM (2x2GB sticks) which I put back in the machine, and I tried re-installing. No problem whatsoever - it installed perfectly.
It's the RAM! Even though my RAM works perfectly once installed, the Apple OS installer refuses to proceed if Apple RAM is not in. I put my 16GB RAM back in after installing the OS and all is fine.
I'm quite surprised Apple has done this.
Have you changed the RAM? Let me know if it's the same problem or you have some differences.
I assume it will install fine if I put the orignal HD back in, again if I have the original Apple RAM in of course.
PS. Also to note, the point where it failed in the installer with my 16GB RAM in, with the original Apple RAM in it took an incredibly long time towards the end of the bar moving across the screen; it says "5 minutes remaining" for at least 15, maybe 20 minutes, but gets past it eventually, then does a reboot to continue its install.

Best business and greeting card software

Are there any suggestions out there for the best business and greeting card software for MacBook? I used to get PrintMaster, but I used that on my Windows side and would now prefer to use an Apple-based program. Thank you.

I don't think that this is the answer you were expecting, but, after trying various print programs, and not getting the look I wanted, I signed up for an online system called SendOutCards. You can personalize real greeting cards printed on recycled paper with pictures you upload, text and art. The system prints, stuffs, addresses and stamps the envelope and puts it into snail mail for you. You can have it sent directly to the recipient or to you to hand to the recipient. You can even include gift cards and the like.
A personalized card costs about $1 plus postage. Much easier than fiddling with art layouts, special paper, colored ink etc. You can even try the SendOutCards system for free. Videos and information on the website:
www.sendoutcards.com/b2b
Hope this helps.
PS The SendOutCards system does not support flash, but, there are some workarounds that are easy for use with Apple products. Contact me if you have any questions. I use it in both my personal and business lives and it is wonderful

Any good Leopard-compatible greeting card programs out there?

My wife wants to print the cards herself vs. going through the Apple Print Service. Does anyone know of any good greeting card software out there that works with Leopard? Thanks

Go to > Windows Media Player on the Mac - Flip4Mac, the free version should do it.

Software for greeting cards

I have no idea where to post my question, so I'll begin here.
Is there software available for Macs that will enable me to print my own greeting cards, e.g., birthday cards, thank you notes, get well cards, etc.?
Thanks!
eMac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

We’ve got a family business (small plug!: http:/www.richardwoodgate.internet-today.co.uk) producing a range of prints, laminated bookmarks and cards from original watercolour and acrylic paintings. The images used are all stored in iPhoto and then we print from iPhoto to our Epson printer in N-up format (Epson only setting?) which prints multiple images to a sheet - usually 6 or 9. We then cut them out by hand with a straight-edge/guillotine and use double sided tape to attach them to the front of the cards which we buy in from a wholesaler with matching envelopes and cellophane bags for display.
The book marks are produced in Pages - images and text are arranged and formatted before being ‘grouped’. Each bookmark is then duplicated to fill the sheet and then sent to print.
We are expanding into printing directly onto the front of cards and producing cards with messages inside. For the time being, we will be using some ‘in-house made’ Pages templates as and when our new printer arrives.
To be honest, it is a bit of a crude setup, but it works wonders, and the speed and efficiently of the Mac enables us to produce and market top-quality goods. Any image manipulation is done using The GIMP.

How to print 4-fold greeting cards?

I recently upgraded to iPhoto 6.0.5 with the intent of using it to print one-off greeting cards -- NOT necessarily ordering them from Apple.
Most greeting cards programs I've used in the past allow you to print a card on one-side of one sheet of paper, then fold it in 4, so that it fits nicely in a 4x6 envelope. Not so classy, but easy and fast.
For the life of me, I haven't figured out how to get iPhoto to print greeting cards like this. Is there something obvious that I am missing? Other hints for making quick and easy cards with little printing fuss? Thanks in advance...
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I found some software that you can download called Easy Card that allows you to make your own cards or use there templates.
http://www.scriptsoftware.com/ecc/
I just downloaded it myself as I was looking for a way to do it in Iphoto and as you found out there is no way to do it within Iphoto to print so you can do the four fold thing you talk about.
Anyways there software got good reviews and user reviews as well and I am still playing with it on the trial period right now!
I designed a Birthday/ St Patricks day invitation ( my 11 month old has his 1st birthday coming up on St Patricks day) and the easy card software works great in how it works with Iphoto and my clip art that I have. It has an OSX layout so I found using their controls pretty easy in order to get pictures and text and such into my card.
Check it out! It is a free download for trial and can be purchased for $30
I am just about to do it myself once I am satisfied with my first design!
I need to find more clip art though. Maybe they have more on there website once you purchase it!
Anyone know a good site to get clip art??

Valid size not available for this creation when using Greeting Card feature

Using PSE9 with a Mac. When attempting to create a greeting card, after selecting the photo, the Greeting Card, I receive a pop up error message as follows:
"Valid Size Not Available For This Creation". (All other Create functions such as Photo Book, Photo Calendar, and Photo Collage appear to be working). I have been in contact with Adobe Support and have been instructed to do a number of things from creating a new preferences file to uninstalling and re-installing the PSE software, with no result. Has anyone else run into this problem, and if so have found a fix? Thanks.

I've been tearing my hair out over this one also. I've been on hold for over 10 hrs with Adobe Support waited over almost 2 weeks and still no resolution. I'm trying to create the Save the Date cards for my wedding and I can't wait for Adobe. Removing the preferences file and uninstalling/reinstalling does not fix the problem.
That said I did figure out a workaround for this. It's easy but it does require Windows. For me this was no big deal as I do own a Windows box.
Get the free trial version of PE9 for Windows and install it. If you don't have a Windows computer get to a friend that has one
Upload some of your photos to the PE9 Windows Organizer (it's identical to the mac version)
Select Create and then Greeting card. Photoshop will launch the guided edit feature for greeting cards.
Select the Layout feature and once you find out that you like save it as Photoshop project. Repeat this step for as many layouts as necessary.
Copy your Photoshop project files (and any folders) to your mac.
Open the project files as you would with any other Photoshop file.
You can now select the Create feature. You will be able add your pictures and resize them, you will be able to add/remove text, you'll be able to change the backgound/borders, add graphics...pretty much anything...EXCEPT automatically modify the layout. If you click on Layout, PE9 returns nothing. You can however go into full edit mode and if you have decent Photoshop skills you can make any changes to the layout manually.
If I had to put money on this I'd say that there is a problem with the PE9 Mac installation package. For some reason it is not deploying the layout data/files or it is not putting them in the right place. For this reason the program can't find the layouts when the user selects the greeting card guided edit.
Good luck.

My printer prints everything fine except my quarterfold greeting cards

my hp psc 2355 printer works fine for most things except when i go to print out a quarterfold greeting card from "the printshop".
the face of the card should be printed on one quadrant of the paper but instead its printing about two inches further towards the middle of the page.
i have uninstalled the printer and reinstalled it, tried realigning the print cartridges, updating drivers and many other things i could think of. some of the cards i can print out successfully but for some reason the quarterfold cards don't print right. i even thought it might be in the software itself but after i hooked up another printer, it printed out right. please help!!

[Please do not post multiple posts of the same topic...]
The most likely issue is the printer is having trouble feeding the relatively thick card stock. Cleaning the feed rollers may help, see this page.

Greeting cards and Elements

I'm thinking of purchasing photoshop elements 3.0. I have 2 questions-
1. Will there soon be a 4.0 elements? Should I wait to purchase, or did 3.0 just come out? (I noticed there's a windows 4.0 elements version)
2. Can you design greeting cards with this Photoshop Elements software? iphoto seems very limiting on what you can do with greeting cards- adding text, design on back, etc. If Elements doesnt do this, can anyone suggest a good software application for greeting cards, cd cases, etc.
thanks!

Well, it looks like PE4 will eventually be available for mac as well, but they won't say when:

Glad you're enjoying printshop, although I don't know of anything that comes standard with PCs that takes its place, not these days. I find I need to buy at least as much software for my pc as my mac.

How do I get photos on Avery greeting cards?

Using Publisher Software and Photoshop Elements 10, to print photos on Avery half-fold jet ink greeting cards, how do I transfer photos onto the card?

I am not familiar with "Publisher Software."
Most of these programs work similarly.
Enhance your photo in PSE, then save it to disk
Open the software for the greeting card, select the appropriate Avery template
Look for an insert option, point to where your graphic/picture is on disk, and insert.

Printing a Two sided greeting card

I am trying to design a two sided greeting card, but I do not seem to be able to find such a project as that in Photoshop. Print shop has a double sided greeting card where you desgin the fron and back and then go to the inside of the card. anybody have any suggestions.
thanks
tim

Go to File>new>blank file, and in the dialog enter the height & width of your paper stock, set resolution 240-300 px/in, and design the components for your card. You will have to place these, each on their own layer, so that they print out in the correct orientation and that the fold of the card is centered. This will require some experimentation until you get it just right. View>grid may help in the placement.
The various card printing programs, such as Print Shop, readily allow accurate two-sided printing. You can import your design from Elements to the appropriate page(s) of the template.
There are also available templates (free) from Avery. Half fold greeting card #3265, for example, is available in landscape and portrait orientation in Microsoft Word application:

Greeting Card Factory

Does anyone use Greeting Card Factory. I have version 1.0 and upgraded to the latest version. Under Leopard I can't open the program. It immediately quits. Could it be that it just doesn't work with the new os?
Thank you.

That is a distinct possibility. I suggest contacting the software vendor and finding out if and when they will have a Leopard update available. There are many old programs that do not yet run under Leopard, such as the free version of Virex.
